Today on Bethe3rd we’re going to be talking about storytelling and how important this simple act of communication is to our world and our wellbeing.

Storytelling goes back to the very beginning of time.

It is one of our best and most beneficial learning tools. It emphasizes the storyteller’s creativity and engages the listener in critical thinking. It helps the storyteller convey critical life skills and lessons without long drawn out technical or complicated words or phrases.

Human beings love stories and God knew this because. He created us in His image, and this is how Jesus communicated with us.

Storytelling is the preferred teaching method of Jesus. A parable is defined as a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson.  

Stories keep conversations moving along, and can help to build relationships. They are also fun and lighthearted.

We all have stories to tell and they all have the ability to lead, inspire, encourage, and comfort, so tell your stories often.
